1 """Simple API for XML (SAX) implementation for Python.
2
3 This module provides an implementation of the SAX 2 interface;
4 information about the Java version of the interface can be found at
5 http://www.megginson.com/SAX/. The Python version of the interface is
6 documented at <...>.
7
8 This package contains the following modules:
9
10 handler -- Base classes and constants which define the SAX 2 API for
11 the 'client-side' of SAX for Python.
12
13 saxutils -- Implementation of the convenience classes commonly used to
14 work with SAX.
15
16 xmlreader -- Base classes and constants which define the SAX 2 API for
17 the parsers used with SAX for Python.
18
19 expatreader -- Driver that allows use of the Expat parser with SAX.
